Hello, I'm a member of the Hortsteppers (to be sung to Ini Kamoze's 'Here Comes the Hotstepper) and will be walking from London to Brighton on 25 May 2013 with some fellow courageous HTA employees.  

Now, those that know me know how much I like my luxury and rarely wear flat shoes.  So walking through muddy fields, climbing stiles all day and all night with no sleep (or glass of wine!) is not usually my forte!!!

It's 62 miles (100km) which is a bleeding long way and I only have little legs! I've signed up as it will be personal challenge for me, I have an appetite for adventure but also a healthy dose of naivety!

I'm fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support as cancer is something that has affected my family and friends and I want to give something back. 

It has affected those close to me, most recently a lovely work colleague of mine - Penny Brennan.  A kind, gentle and caring woman, Penny sadly passed away before Christmas and I would like to dedicate this walk to her as her smiling face is very much missed at the HTA.
